Santa Clarita Mayor Bill Miranda has warned LA residents who are under an evacuation order to grab “critical” items and “evacuate now”.
The warning was issued amid the fast-moving LA wildfires which continue to tear through parts of California.
“Don’t wait 10 minutes and see what’s going to happen,” Mr Miranda said in a media conference.
“Do not hesitate, do not stay. Grab the necessary items and leave as quickly as you can.”
